"Whistle Stop" by Brian Hughes is one of my favorites. I read about it in this "Top Whistle CD" thread: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?p=566280 You can listen to clips here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000IQNO I think I read somewhere that Whistle Stop is now out...

How about Dymonwood like Busman and Sweetheart use? I've read comments that it is a good choice for whistlers who are afraid of cracking?

Looks like a Burke to me. The beak looks longer than a Burke beak to me, but you may be right. Thanks. I talked with...
